Built from a decade’s worth of massively parallel processing (MPP) expertise developed through the creation of the Pivotal Greenplum® enterprise database and open source PostgreSQL, HAWQ&reg enables to you to swiftly and interactively query Hadoop data, natively via HDFS.

On Aug 15, 2018, the ASF Board established Apache HAWQ as a Top Level Project, which was approved by unanimous vote of the directors present. Please see the associated press release from the ASF. HAWQ entered incubation in September of 2015 and made four releases as an incubating project. Along the way, the HAWQ community has worked hard to ensure that the project is being developed according to the principles of the The Apache Way. We will continue to do so in the future as a TLP, to the best of our ability.
